Mar. 24, 2005 Just when you thought it was appropriate to think that 'beauty is in the eye of the beholder,' here come findings from a study that say different. According to a study by the University of Exeter in England, the reason many people prefer pretty faces over not so attractive ones is that the idea becomes fixed in our brains since birth or prior to birth. Apparently, new borns come with already outfitted preferences. One of which just happens to be a preference for pretty faces. Furthermore, researchers at the Exeter University showed two illustrations, placed side by side to more than one hundred babies. One of the images was that of a pretty face, while the other was that of a not so attractive one. Ranging in age from five hours to two days old, the babies spent more time, about eighty percent, looking at the image of the pretty face and hardly looked at the other face. In addition, when these babies grow up, their preference for the pretty face does not change much. In fact, it traverses cultures and geography, thus passing on the built in preference into their newborns as well. So when next you witness one of your friends ogling a pretty face, think of it this way, it's part of their biology.
